Comment: I have only been taking this for 3 days now. I am taking 100mg, but I might need to lower dosage to 50mg 'cause I feel so hung over in the morning. It takes 1/2 the day to wake up.

I've noticed that my short term memory has drastically been affected by this medication . Also, unless I get about 10 hours of sleep I definitely feel groggy the next morning. Keep in mind that my case is pretty extreme and without this medication. sleep would almost not exist for me, so the trade off is currently worth it for me.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I have chronic back pain and cannot sleep at night due to the severe pain. I take this at bedtime and it does help but If I eat something before I take the pill it doesnt work at all for me. Its almost like the food absorbs it. So I make sure I dont eat 1-2 hours before I take it. No other prescription sleep meds have worked for me, so this is wonderful!!
